Loxboy, July 4. —Long before the hour set for the departure from Charing Cross rail- road station this morning of the train which was to carry to Port Victoria the members of the royal fa and others who were to welcome the emperor of Germany to Englaod that depot was surrounded by a large crowd of peovle, bent upon chcering, commenting upon or guying the many celebrities who were expected to be more or less on view at that point. As the hour for the departure of the “roy- alties” drew near Charing Cross station, out- ide and inside, was a sizht to bo long re- membered. The general public was entirely excluded from the station platforms more than an hour before noon, the time stated for the departure of the royal train, thifs putting many good citizens to considerablo inconven- ience by compelling them to go to other rail- road stations if they desired to travel over those lines which touch at Charing Cross. The result was some good humored grumbling. @ An imposing force of police from the A" aud “C" divisions surrounded the station and the “bobbies” certainly man- aged to preserve a high degree of order and to make the arrival and departure of the car- riages of the welcoming party a matter of very little trouble to anybody. The weather was decidedly pleasant, a fact which tended to make everybody fee! good humored. Gorgeous Curpet for Royal Feet. Inorder that the feet of royalty and others highly distinguished might ‘not be soilea by contact with the common flooring of the rail- road station a gorgeous red velvet carpet was spread from the entrance of the depot into and across the main platform and along tho siding piatform, running the whole length of the depot. Tho edifice 1tself, never very cheering even upou the brightest of days, was this morning rendered positively brilliant with fioral bunting and other decorations. Sir Miles Fenton, genoral manager of the Southenstern raitroad company, and other high officials of the road were present, actively and personally superintending all the details of this important event. The best of the salon carriages (well stocked with solid and liquid refreshiments) and the most powerful of the company’s engines were pro- vided fov the occasiou, the guards, engine drivers and other train attendants beine quite dazzling in new uniforms and brass outtons, Distinguished Arrivals, Among the first arrivals at Charing Cross was Sir Edward Malet, the British ambassa- dor to Berlin, who, like every other official in any way coanected with the welcoming of the emperor, was clad in the bril- liant full diplomatic and other uniform of his rauk. Tae next few mrivals included Major General Sir Jonn O'Neill, equerry to her majesty: Colonel Sir Frederick Carring- ton, and Admiral Sir John Commerell, uil three with their breasts covered with orders and decorations, Theso oflicers have boen eapecially attached to the stalf of the Ger- man emperor during the latter's stay in this country. “T'he duke of Edinburgh, in the uniform of a Prussian general, was the next important personage to be recognized by the throng out- side the railrond depot. The duke, who is popular with tho masses, was warmly cheered. Count Von Hatzfeldt, the German ambas- sador here, appeared soon after the duke of Edinburgt, The count was accompauied by all the nttaches of the German embassy, ail in tho uniforms of the divlomatic corps. The duke of Counaught, in the scarlet and silver uniform of a colonel of tne Siethen hussars of the guard, followed the German ambassador a few minutes dater. The band of this fine regiment, of which the auke is honorary colonel, 18 expected to play in Eug- land during the émperor's visit, Fat Prince and Lean Duke. A minute or so before it was time for the royal train to draw out of the depot the prince of Wales, accompanicd by his elde son, the duke of Clarenco and Avondals, both wearing the uniform of the red hussars and decorated with the Hohenzollern order, arrived ut the station, looking somewhat an: noyed at the fact that'they werce behind time. People who waro near to this royal couple commented upon the fact that the prince of Wules' portly figure was decidedly ill adupted to the tight fitting German uni- form wlich he wore for tnat occasion in houor of the emperor. 'The same people who commented upon the prince of Wales' to paunchy appearance also noticed that the samo uniforn on bis son brought into un pleasant prominence the remarkable thinness of the young duko. By this time the station platform was fairly crowded with men in uniforms of all colors and_deseriptions—stars, rivbons and crosses by the gross apparently adorned the bosom of everybody = present. To judge from the decorations they displayed tho royul party mu t havo been composed of warriors who had taken glorious part in every waraud every battle fought auywhere duriug the last ifty years, After a short delay, during which the bril- liant relatives passed 'the time in exchanging greetings and compliments, an example which was followed by their equally brilliant staffs, tho suggestion that they embark on the train was uttered and some minutes later the ro¥al party was on its way to Port Victoria, At Port Victoria, the lunding place of the royalty near Sneeriess, extraordinary prop- arations had been made by the various ofi- cials interested, who were all uuder the com mand of the duke of Portiand, who, s the waster of the horse. had full charge of the welcoming corcmonies in all their details. Nobody was allowed to pass into the landing picr except tne members of the royal fami- lies, their suitos and the diplomatic corps Sheerness a Beautiful Sight, Seerness harbor was o graud, beautiful sight. Hoth the channel aud trainivg squad- i were at anchor there as guard of honor, probably fiucr than which never bafore saluted @ mouarch. Iu addition to this powerful fleet thero was gathered as fine a flotilla of torpedo hoats 08 any admiral neea wish to bave at his disposal. Warships lined each side of the harbor, wud backed up by the hugo forts aud smiallor fighting ships, all dressed from stom to stern with flut teriug bunting, they formed a pictyre calculated to make an Englishman’s breast swell with pride. [u bonor of the imperial guest he warships, in addition to their own | | distinetive flags, also Hew the standard of Germany to the breezo. At 11:70 8. m. exaetly tha Hwadsome cruiser Tartar passed in advance, of the fleot as & scout vessel, and, accompanied by a flotilla of warships and a siarm of torpedo bouts, put to sea in order to give the main body of the floet due warning of the approach of the im- perial yacht which was bearing the German emperor towards these shores, Thundered Forth the Royal Salute. At noon the Tartar signatled to tho ship nearest to her that the Hohenzollern was in sight. This signal wis repeated from the secoud vossel to the third and so on. Tho Holienzollern was coaveyed by the German protected cruiser Princess Wilhelm. As the German ships neared the line of the British warships all the latter thundered forth a royal salute and munned their yards with almost miraculous rapidity, while the bands played the Gecman anthem, The roar of guis, the cloud of gunpowder smoke, the dis tant music of naval bards, the fine bracing weather, the splendid’ war vessols, the faowning forts and the refreshing breeze, all combined to make as attractive a picture of welcome as any _emperor ever had or may over expe ho greoting was without par- allel in the history of KEncland, and the em- peror could not fail to be delighited with the reception. The first glimpse of the emperor was when ho was soen standiig upon the brigge of the Hohenzollern, dressed in the uniform of a British admiral. He was in company with the empress, and _both were accompanied by brilliant suifes, The Hohonzollern steamed slowly through the lines of thundoving Brit- ish war vessels, every one of which having the salutiog rauk fired asalute of twenty-one guns. In the meanwhile the British royal party had arrived at Port Vietoria, and were await- ing the yonng emperor _on the landing stage, which was most beautifully decorated with flowers, plauts and bunting for the occasion. Great People Meet. Finally tho imperial yacht ran safely alongside the pier and amid a strange silence upon the part of the assembled crowds and with ‘more bund playing Emperor William stepped ashore and beng mot by the princo of Wales, graciously kissod the heir apparent to the throne of Great Britain and received the grectings of the other members of the royal family and also bowed to the welcome of the diplomatic corps and others. The prince of Wales gracefully kissed the hand which the empress of Germany extended to him and after an oxchauge or complimentary phrases the emperor asked the royal party to inspect the Hohenzollern. o offer was promptly accepted. Subse- quently the whole party vartook of light luncheon on board the Hobenzotlern. After luncheon the emperor inspected the guard of honor and uttered long his compliments upon the soldierly bearing of tho men. Bouguets were handed to the empress as her majesty was entering the train aud. salutes of artil- lery were fired as the trajo started. Every station along the-line to Waterloo was filled with crowds, who cheered enthus- instically as the carriuges kwent past. Dur- ing a short halt at Waterloo the emperor, re- sponding 1o incessant volleys of cheers, stepped out upon the platform of his car- ringe und repeatedly saluted. Similar scenes were wituessed all along the e to Windsor. The station there was beautifully decorated ‘The Grenadier guards formed the gaard of honor. Upon the arrival of the, trafn tho princess of Wales greeted the emperor and empress. With ner were the Princesses HBeatrice and Christian and the Prigcesses Victoria and Maude of Wales, Prince Christian, the duke of Cambridge and Princé Henry of Batten- ufg. v 3 Procession to % Indsor. After all aroiind hapdsbaking and kissing the procession, codsisting of twelv riages, was formed. ‘The first by the einperor, tho priace. of Walos, duke of Edinburg adé.the duke of Con- naught. Ju the second wero the empress, the princess of Weles aud the Princesses Beatrice and Christian. In the others were the others of the royal family ana their suites. The route of the procession was lined with infantry and cavalry, whicn kept in check the serried mass of spectators, - Everyiwhere there was o lavish display of decor tions. ~ To an unuceasing ovation ac- companying their progress the German emperor and empress roplied with their sal- utes. At the guild hall, the town clerk read an address of welcome, 'The mayor then made a short, effective speech, to which the emperor made a laconic reply, The procession then started toward the quadrangle of the castle. Hero the Kaights of St. George were grouped around the statue of Charles 1. Then the guards and tho yoemen of the guard linea the quadrangle, while the scarlot uniformed soldiers filled the approaches and the ramparts of the tower. The lord chamoerlain, accompanied by several naval and °military ofiicers, awaited the arrival of the imperial visitors at the entrance of the majn hall of the state departments, Amid rolling yolleys of cheers, salvos of ar- tillery and playing of bands the processiou cntered the castio grouuds. On alighting the emperor entered the ball, preceded the lord chamberlain. The queen met him at the threshold and und affectionately embraced him. All the royalties followea the emperor aud the door was closed. Some minutes afterwards the emperor reappeared n tho quadrangle, accompanied by the prince of Wales, the duke of Iidinburg and the duke of Cambridge, und proceaded to inspect the troops and then retired to his apavtments After along rest the omperor and empress dined with the queen.

Diplomatic circlos here and probably every goverament in Iuropoe have reason to expet that tho emperor will announce the nature of the treaty just con- cluded maintaining the driebund. According 1 the belief in ofcial circles the emperor has discretionary power to disclose tho nature of the treaty between Germuny and Italy. The new dricbund pact includes three distinet agreements —one between Germany and Austria, similar to the first defensive treaty which was signed in_ Octo- ber, , another between Germany and Italy and the third between Austria and Italy o German-ltalian treaty will be made public if Lord Sahsbury gives his as- sent to the step, whilo that between Austria and Italy will remain unrevealed. The idea is that the purely defensive character of the Italian agreement ought to assist in modify- ing the irritation of France. The tone of the English press in secking to attenuate the import of Emperor William's visit to Eneland is understood, but not ap- preciated hore. The emperor has not wone surrounded by leading political and militar household officials, His visit is merel ceremonial one, and is devoid of political sig- The North German Gazette tonight, fn an obviously semi-ofticial communication, asserts that there is a direct conuection between the timo of the emperor’s presence in England und the renewal of the international treuties. *The extension of the driebund,” says that article, “which has just become known, will be everywhere regarded as the finest ft with which the emperor could rejoice the hearts of the people of ( ‘Today more than ever will the mutual tokens of regard exchanged by the two kindred nations be drawn from the conviction that both have been called to work together, without having any cause for fear that their peaceful com- petition will be disturbed by conflicting i terests, The Vossische Zeitung ridicules the notion that the prolonged noewotiations between Lord Salisbury, Signor Rudini_the Italian premier, Sir Edward Malet, the British am- ussador to Germany, and ' Chancellor Von Caprivi, followed by the ostentatious splen- dov of the reception accorded Emperor Will- iam, means nothing mu ally, f," says the Vossiche Zeitur enténte only includes the co-operatio an Buglish squadron, protecting the Italian const again: the French, that one would secure to ( mauy an auxiliary amy, an English flect iu the ‘North 586 “and the Baitic and would leave the German army free for the prole | tion of the f'rench and Russian frontiers,” “Pha assurancés given by the London police of the safety of the emperor do not satisfy the authorities here, and it is suid thut the orts of the Berlin police agents who have n in England for some time cause distrust regarding the precavtions taken by the Lou- don authoritics, A groun of German artisans on Tuesday applied jdirectly to Count Von Hatzfeldt, the German embassador to England, for permis- sion to present an address to the emperor. The names and addresses of the petitiouers, as given at the embassy, were closely scrut- inized and it was found that most of the upplicants were good, loyal men, Somo of the names proved to be fictitious tnd were, it is supposed, adopted by German an- archists. Count Von Hatzfeldt decided not 10 allow access to the emperor to anvone who was not fully identified and accepted. Tho emperor was iaformed of the request, und understanding that it was made by German workingmen desirous of expressing to him their gratitude for the social reforms which he has instituted, wished to receive them. Itis understood, however, that the German embassador provailed upon his majesty not 10 do so by reminding him that an’ attempt had .been made upon the life of his fathor during the latter's sojourn in Lon- don in 1878, While the then crown prince was receiving a deputation of loy: workmen at the German embussy he was menanced by a number of conspirators, who were barelv foiled in their attzmpt to gain access to the embassy. The Betlin authorities are urging the Eng- hish government to streteh the Knlish law against proventive avrests, and before the emporor is exposed to the view of the myriads crowding the steets to make a clean haul of all suspected persons, of whom a list has been furnished by the Berlin police agents in Lon- don, Demise of Losvoy, July, 4—William Henry Glad. stone, eldest son of the great English state man died this morning.

Mauy of your Now York readers must re member the visit of British capitulists to tha city in 1580, accompaned by members of the puriiament and a crowd of journalists to write up the expedition. James McHenry organized that; persoually conducted the party and bis object was to boom the Ate lantic, Great Westorn & Erie, in which the British public had invested immonse sums. Sir Morton Peto, who afterwards came to grief, William Colley, the blocknde runner who went to pieces in a still more sigaal man- er, and other enterprising persons of the same kind were taken round the country like a circus and Barnum himself coula not have ndvertisad them better. Dinuers and ene tertamments wero given seale ag that time unheard of. Lady guests were presented with gold bracelets: money flowed like water snd everything was happy. The British public put lots more of money 1nto rotten railroads and waited for bix returns, ill waiting, confiaent that all will come out all right. Cuts a Wide Swathe. McHenry returned, a millionaire. He entertained Emperor Napoleon at Oek Lodge in Addisen road, a lovely house standing on the borders of Holland park.

He has often tld we that for months together his law exponses amounted to thousands of pounds a weok. Even his vast resources failed him, and during tho last years ne has been living on monoy raised by loaus and mortgages. 1 bolieve he obtained, not long ago, u considerablo sum from the Ewmpross Eugenie on a cluim for woney advanced to theemperor. He had also indueed the Spanish royul family to ntrust 1o him large amounts for investment. All disappoared, His Rickness. Latterly a nieco, Miss Boyd, has been taking curo of him, and her sister and mother were there occasionally. With other persons who attended closely uvon him was Edward MacNamars, a sort on a | today, the Juuis of secrctary, who had lived with him many years, McHenry clung tenuciously to hife, believing that he had & valid claim agninst Bischoffheim for nearly £250,000 and was certain to win. Ho was not at all likely to poison himself. He had made a will leaving the most of his proporty, really very little apart from visionary claims, to the Boyds and his sister, Mrs. Cox. On the night he died, he seemed unusually cheerful and sanguine. He went quietly to sleep and wole 1o more, Who then is suspected of poisoning him and for what motivel At present all is aarke ness. Tho day after the exbumation of the body, MoNamara called upon me. He uad been followed ubout by a dotective ta his great aunoyance.

He said not, but McHenry had been very obstinate about ke ing food, showing the greatest res luctance to swallow even a cup of tea Miss Boyd bad attended upon him, but Mage Namara bad given him most of the nourishe ment of whick he partook, The sister of Miss Cox did not arrive from Philadelphia till the day before the funeral, There was scurcely money enough left to pay the servants, and tho story fu the papers that buudreds of thousands of pounds are ut stake is all moonshiue, I donot think there were any jusurance policies for McHeury had no body he cared to leave money to.
